Oregon State Capitol, State capitol building in Salem, United States
The Oregon State Capitol features a gold-topped dome and encompasses three floors of marble construction with Art Deco architectural elements throughout the structure.
After two previous capitol buildings burned down, the current structure opened on October 1, 1938, designed by architectural firm Trowbridge & Livingston.
The interior walls display murals and artworks that depict significant moments in Oregon's development, telling the story of the state through visual art.
The building offers weekday guided tours where visitors can learn about state governance while exploring the legislative chambers and public areas.
A golden statue called the Oregon Pioneer stands on top of the capitol dome, representing the determination of early settlers in the region.
